In January starry girl will turn four, and start school. This will be a big change for all of us, and I can't quite believe that it's got here so fast. These last few months with her at home for most of the time are, I'm sure, going to go by so fast. She can't... Continue Reading →

Wow, I don't think anyone actually thought the leave campaign would win. But the referendum result was a narrow margin of victory for them and the only person who seems to be celebrating this is Nigel Farage.

I've rather neglected this blog recently, but there's too many other things going on at the moment that need to get worked out before I can write about them. Normal service will resume soon and all will be explained - lots of changes in the wind, but I don't want to jinx them til they're... Continue Reading →
